I have a Sony KDF-42WE655 LCD Projection tv. I hooked up my computer with the S-video cable, but for some reason it only displays on the tv in black and white. The s-video port is an onboard thing. I'll try to find out the manufacturer, etc. What am I doing wrong? Is it just that my tv isn't capable of displaying a computer screen in color?
Did you setup the display correctly, enabling pal or ntsc and choosing the right colour settings on your computer. is it possible a few of the pins in the svideo cable are bent? Try another Sviedo cable.
@ xerofyre, For educational purposes could you please tell us what was wrong and how you fixed the problem please? Ced
well I figured out that for some reason my computer (which I installed a new hard drive in) didn't have the drivers/software for the nvidia gpu which was what the s-video was on. After I installed that I later went to their tv-out options and one of the things said, connected with what? I put s-video, clicked apply, and voila, it worked.
